About Lydia
Experience: 8 yrs
Hi! I'm Lydia, a compassionate caregiver with 5+ years of experience supporting individuals with disabilities. At 16, I traveled to England to care for a woman with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), assisting with meal prep, hygiene, and household tasks. I also worked as a Registered Behavioral Technician at BPI Apple Academy, supporting children with autism and behavioral challenges. Currently, I work at Initial Independence, providing daily support to two adults with Down syndrome, including personal care, companionship, and community engagement. I offer caregiving, cleaning, meal prep, and more, and am available Monday-Thursday (8 AM-3 PM) and Friday (8 AM-2 PM). I'm patient, reliable, and passionate about creating meaningful connections. I take pride in supporting families with care that enhances daily life and promotes independence. I'd love to help provide the care and support your family needs.
Most recent review
Lydia is calm and quick on her feet in any dangerous situation. Several times she has saved lives by reacting to a choking situation, helped saving the life of a child with special needs who stopped breathing and saving a family from fire. This might sound fake, but it is really true. It's almost like Lydia has a 6th sense when it comes to danger. She is definitely a dependable and reliable person who loves kids.
